I just watched it and thought it could have been greatly expanded with much more emphasis on the early developments and it seemed to give Edison a 23 skidoo although he was the guy who made it all possible.I think the early days and those early machines as well as the Diamond Disc records and players were kind of glossed over.Edison also was really the inventor of the Long Playing (LP) record as well

When you are giving the entire history of an industry in an hour there is not enough time to treat everything in depth.

Clay,
I'm thinking that this subject needs a Ken Burns treatment because Edison made modern life possible.
It's probably true that someone else would have eventually discovered electric lighting and sound recording but He was da man.
Today's generation needs to know that our really recent antecedents literally had to have a torch to go outside at night.

I have seen a good program, or series, on Edison that was pretty extensive and fairly well done, but I can't recall where now.

Burns would have a hillbilly fiddle & guitar playing "I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen" slowly & depressively throughout the entire series. hehe

Was this the documentary you were talking about?

I particularly liked the gas mask song around the 47 minute mark myself on the BBC documentary. Yes it may have missed some pieces here and there, but I felt did a great job in just over an hour. I know I would love to see a series done, maybe by the decade, about the recording industry.
